Vendhaya Dosa Recipe With Poondu Chutney - Breakfast Recipes

We make this dosa at least once in a month.This is very good for health.It reduces the body heat and good for stomach ulcer & diabetes.I learnt this recipe from my MIL and i made it yesterday.It was crispy , spongy and tasted great.Poondu molaapdi is the best combination for this dosa.I have tasted this dosa with sambar,chutney , korma etc.But nothing can beat this poondu molaapdi..U can have this dosa with coconut milk or milk mixed with jaggery syrup.I used to have 2 dosas with milk and 2 dosas with molaapdi :) It may resemble like aapam, but it tastes different. Usually it is made thick like uttapam but my husband likes it crispy. So i make thick ones for me & crispy for my husband. It tastes & comes out great in either ways!

Now grind the methi seeds along with dals with water for 10 mins.Batter will be fluffy becomes smooth.. Then add the rice with required water and salt to it , grind to make a smooth batter.

Remove and transfer it to a bowl.Check for salt. Let it ferment for 10 hrs or over night.

The next day ,mix the batter well with the ladle and pour it on the hot dosa tawa.Spread a little , pour sesame oil around it and cover cook for 1- 2 mins .No need to flip over.Make it thick or thin as per ur wish..

hi, thanks for dropping by & leaving your lovely comment. You too have a wonderful space &the dosa seems definitely healthy.Got to know lot of methi seeds - i thought it was only good for treating constipation.Do visit again

It is mentioned that 500mg of fenugreek seeds to be taken daily, i thingk it is wrong. May be it is 50mg. per day - for lowering blood sugar and pressure. In my home my mother always used to cook with fenugreek seeds, perungayam wherever needed. The health benefits are so many and it adds good flavour and taste to the foods. We are really gifted by the God with such rare herbs which are used as food and with best medicinal qualities for our health. Our (south) Indian kitchens are seemingly having really meaningful spices for food preparation and good health. I can say that if one is maintaining good food practices (i.e., limited intake) even if it is a favorite food or tastier one, should not go for full stomach of food and must eat in time and only after digestion of the previous food. i mean, only after feeling hungry one should take further food. that also to be half stomach food will help to avoid obesity, pressure and any other health problems.

Thank u so much Mr,Uthaman.Its a typo.Changed it now. As u said,eating half stomach keeps us healthy.At least for dinner , everyone should follow this.But sadly,most of us don't do this..Thanks for the info and ur suggestion :)
